Artur Davis, former Democratic congressman turned Republican, told CNN’s Soledad O’Brien Tuesday morning that if Todd Akin doesn’t resign his candidacy for Senate, President Obama could win Missouri. And Romney may know it. On Tuesday, the GOP candidate called on Akin to remove himself from the Senate race. In light of Akin’s recent “legitimate rape”–gate, Davis predicted that the Republican from Missouri is “not going to win this race, and it’s very possible that he could cost Romney this state.”
